The Wynwood hotel’s ground floor is eclectic and inviting. Upon arrival guests will immediately experience the spacious paseo that goes through the building. A café bar located in the lobby also adds to the arrival experience. Parking is provided one floor below grade.
On the fourth floor, the hotel’s entertainment floor will house a lot of amenities, such as two pools, the main restaurant, outdoor bar and a covered dining patio overlooking Second Avenue. A dedicated elevator with access directly to the street brings guests to the restaurant without going through the hotel lobby. In addition, the rooftop terrace provides a second entertainment venue to the 177,000 gsf property. Hotel guests can enjoy a private pool, health club facility and relaxing semi-outdoor seating.
The exterior has been developed based on the concept of geometric concrete ‘breeze blocks’ which are very common in southern Florida. Local to the region for climate purposes, breeze blocks provide both privacy and air to flow through them. In this proposal, the exaggerated geometry of the breeze blocks provides for sense of privacy with a predominantly all glass building and connects the project to its neighborhood.
